Thanks for this to respond yes please more . i like these early morning (for me) nostalgia trips. I was born in 71 so most of these cars were knackered when I was a kid. It's great to see them in their prime. Nice one!

Hello from south Georgia, USA, I have been watching your videos for a long time, it is time that I subscribed! I have always enjoyed "attending" the car shows and your slide show videos. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and history of the vehicles! I have owned my 1961 Morris Minor Traveller since 2018. This rust free California car was purchased from a Sacramento resident who owned the car for 40 years! The cream and burgundy paint, with pinstriping was applied in 1988. The interior was also upholstered in 1988. It is powered by a Chevy 2.8 liter V-6 with a Weber carburetor. Has a 700-r4 automatic transmission with Lokar shifter, Mustang II front suspension with disc brakes and rack & pinion steering, a Ford 8 inch rear differential and dual exhaust system with glasspack mufflers. It is loud, quick, handles well and receives smiles every time I drive it! Very few people know what type of car this is so, there are always many questions. Again thank you for your time it takes for you to create and share your videos! Good day, good health and good memories, Richard McPherson

Wonderful selection of nostalgia, again, thanks for uploading them! Nice to see somebody getting everything right, too, although I think the van in the background at 8:26 may actually be a Commer Walk-Thu. The poor old Morris at 10:29 may not have survived but a sister Cowley registered in Hampshire just 5 cars later as MOU581 certainly does as I parked my own Cowley next to it at a steam rally not long ago. The Safari Rally Anglia at 12:57 may be the car driven by Peter Hughes of Kenya and American Bill Young - they won their class in No.27 Anglia in 1963 (Hughes won the following year's event outright in a Cortina) but the only picture I can find of the car doesn't show the registration number! Look forward to more of your old photographs.

Once again a fantastic collection of memories, I was born in 1954 and as a child/teen growing up remember most of the bread and butter cars featured here - not so much the more premium pictures such as the Jags etc. My dad ran an A30 back in the day so appreciated the very early version you commented on which I had no idea about.

I thought it a dealers number plate because of the plastic seat covers. Good to see this set of cars. Seeing the minor drop top, brought back memories. I wanted one for my first car in 1964 but had to settle for 1949 Hillman Minx because my dad thought having a soft top too dangerous if I was to tip it over. I'm pleased that my choice of a Ford Capri 1600xl was a better option than the Vauxhall Viva. Thanks, I'll have to check out my photos and email them if they are still ok. Cheers from Australia..
@marymoffatt20602 жыл бұрын
my mum had 679 LG on a mk1 Cortina; I remember it had a valve radio with an inverter under the fascia to supply the 240v live and you were ill advised to touch any of it for fear of electrocution. We all loved the column changes most of these cars had and it could be confusing for people in a car following when they saw the drivers hands waving about when changing gear. As kids we were trained to hit the B post to encourage the semaphore indicator arm to operate, happy days!

Agreed, the old town streets in particular looked so much better without the endless lines on the road, signs everywhere, traffic lights etc etc. While some does good in improving traffic flow, pedestrian safety etc, I really think in many cases the local authorities go overboard with their signs and tins of paint.

HAA 101 (a Southampton number) was supplied in October 1949 as a chassis and front wings only to a Commander A. T. Thistlethwayte, and it is not known what kind of body was built on it, but most likely a wood framed station wagon. The standard steel body of another car was fitted in the late fifties, probably because many of those woody bodies did not age well. It has not been taxed since 2007, but may well still exist in a shed somewhere.

The Ford Popular 100e SUV 613 picture is taken outside the Manor House Inn Croyde Devon. I went to Croyde in Devon many times in the1960s in such cars as an Austin A40 Farina Austin Cambridge, and Vauxhall 101 Super Delux. The Manor House Inn is still there in Croyde today! But it looks a little different now but still in business. It seemed to take forever way back then in these cars and the roads going on family holidays to Devon or Cornwall or Wales from Northants back then. Happy memorise the Caravan with the Singer Estate car is a Fairholme you can see the winged badge they used around this time on the front. We later became touring caravaners in the days when caravaners would wave to each other on the roads. Great pictures, thanks. Kev.

Brilliant pictures as usual. I love the Rootes cars,they really nailed badge engineering back then. I love the Humber Super Snipe,a sort of mini Chevrolet styling wise. I also love the Daimler Majestic Major,sadly underrated.It could outrun a mk10 Jag with it’s Edward Turner designed 4.5 litre hemi V8 which was probably a bit embarrassing for Jaguar at the time .Keep the photos coming.

Many years ago (c1992) I was sorely tempted to rescue two derelict Daimlers, one a Majestic, the other a Majestic Major, sadly I didn't and I suppose they were scrapped (there are photos somewhere), but yes the 4.5 V8 must have been quite a car

Deepal is correct. Definitely not Sri Lanka/Ceylon. In addition to the two-letter alpha-prefixes Deepal mentions there were also 'CV', for commercial vehicles, and 'IC' for diesel- or 'compression ignition'-engined vehicles. Consensus among the cognoscenti (although unconfirmed) is that 'IC' were the reversed initials for 'Compression Ignition'. My 'money' is on SINGAPORE as the location for the Morris Minor MM tourer SC 5025. Keep up the great work with your video compilations. They are simply superb. Thank you!

Great collection with accurate narration. The 1950's/60's were the golden years of British car manufacturing so why the decline? British Leyland should have stuck to manufacturing lorries and buses for one, strike after strike by workers adding to the industries demise. I remember well auto workers looking down upon engineering apprenticeships in Coventry at the time. Little did they know!! Greetings from a Brit residing in the USA.
